Even when no longer used for its original purpose, the dashboard ashtray remains an important period feature of the Porsche 356 cabin and contributes to a complete, authentic-looking interior.

What Does the Ashtray Do?

Originally designed to provide a convenient receptacle for ash and cigarettes, the ashtray is integrated into the dashboard area and forms part of the original interior design.

Today, many owners primarily value the ashtray as an original-style interior feature. A correctly fitted ashtray helps maintain the complete appearance of the dashboard and can also provide a small storage compartment for lightweight items.

Why Do Porsche 356 Ashtrays Need Replacing?

After decades of use, original ashtrays and their mounting components can become worn or damaged.

Common problems include:

• Scratched or deteriorated finishes
• Corrosion
• Bent or damaged mounting components
• Loose or poor-fitting assemblies
• Damage caused by repeated use
• Missing ashtrays following previous interior modifications
• General age-related deterioration

An incomplete or damaged ashtray can be particularly noticeable in a carefully restored Porsche 356 interior.

When Should the Ashtray Be Replaced?

Replacement should be considered if:

• The original ashtray is missing
• The finish is heavily worn or damaged
• Corrosion is present
• The mounting plate is damaged
• The ashtray no longer fits securely
• The dashboard is being refurbished
• The vehicle is undergoing a full interior restoration

Replacing worn interior details can make a significant difference to the finished appearance of a classic Porsche.
